The only jobs I've ever held are the kind that require little more than showing up with your uniform on, so no problem there. I have missed work because of bipolar issues, but not so often that my job was ever at risk.

School, on the other hand, which is supposed to be preparing me for a career is much more difficult with bipolar. I've failed classes, dropped semesters, skipped term assignments etc. I'm too stuborn to let bipolar stop me and now that I've found medication that works, hopefully it won't destroy my future career.
